<div>Hi, the SDP provider that is provided by mellanox only works for user mode applications. The cifs client/servers that come with windows are kernel components and therefore can not use it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It seems that nfsaxe client and server are user mode and therefore they should work, but this will have to be checked.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Another question that I have is this: Do you realy need to access the files as Fileserver? That is, do you need to work on part of the files, or a solution that will copy the files enough? To make this more clear, will it be enough for you to have an FTP client/server working?
</div>

<div>Thanks</div>
